Simple but effective.
The keys on this thing have a pretty decent feel for a toy keyboard. I love that it has midi in and out, vary useful. The sounds are nice, there are a few "Hidden" sounds you can only access via midi. It claims to have a 210 sound tone bank but honestly that is kinda a lie, its referring to the fact that you can layer sounds.
The built in drum beats are nice and usable. Drum sounds are your basic PCM samples I'm pretty sure.
Nice and compact and runs off of AA batteries rather then C cells, which is a plus. Just wish it had RCA or 1/4 jack output instead of the headphone port, but that wouldn't be too hard to add.

Straightforward.
This is my go-to keyboard. No slide wheels or anything fancy. It's a decent enough size to put on your lap and it never heats up or anything. It was my grandmother's and now it's mine. Thanks, Grandma.
